Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Shen Junqing watched her actions, and there was a faint dimness in the depths of his eyes.

The other piece should be for Qin Lu, right…

After all, he was a step late, allowing Qin Lu to meet her first…

“Sir, credit card or bank transfer?” The store clerk assumed Shen Junqing was going to pay.

“Credit card, I’ll handle it,” Shen Yan spoke before Shen Junqing.

Nan Yan acted quickly, placing a card in her hand before Shen Junqing could speak.

“Don’t use hers, use mine,” Shen Junqing insisted as he took out his own card, then smiled with a hint of amusement, “Yanyan, your intention is what matters to Third Brother, I am already very happy. Aren’t you in need of money?”

Nan Yan assertively took back his card and handed it to him, speaking seriously, “I said it’s for you as a gift, how can I let you pay?”

“Go ahead and use it, no need for a PIN.’

The clerk glanced at both of them and quickly used Nan Yan’s card to make the payment.

Two watches cost more than 17 million yuan.

Nan Yan received a message reminder and glanced at it, then silently closed the message.

She worked hard to earn money, and she only had this much at a time. Now she was buying two watches, and they were so expensive!

Nan Yan was a bit of an oddity. She didn’t like luxury items or wearing flashy jewelry.

In her eyes, comfortable clothes were enough, and she didn’t care about brands.

She would rather spend several millions on experimental equipment than buy expensive clothes.

It was simply extravagant.

Of course, this was a gift for someone else, so even if she felt it was not worth it, she couldn’t show it.

After leaving the mall, Shen Junqing looked at her and asked with a smile, “Yanyan, are you going home?”

“I’m missing one more thing,” Nan Yan skillfully fastened her seatbelt and started the car.

Shen Junqing was a bit puzzled.

They had eaten, bought gifts, what else was missing?

Isn’t this how birthdays were usually celebrated?

However, he quickly understood what Nan Yan meant by missing something.

The car stopped in front of a bakery.

Nan Yan unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to ask, “Third Brother, do you want to come with me or wait in the car?”

“There’s no need to ask.”

Shen Junqing enjoyed every moment spent with her.

Their rare moments of being together naturally meant that he would go wherever she went.

There were various beautifully designed cakes on the counter, and Nan Yan carefully helped him pick one.

He earnestly looked at the side of the girl’s face.

She was beautiful, like an elf lost in the mortal world, transcendent and ethereal.

Even though she had a somewhat cold personality…

But this kind of aloofness and distance actually made her more attractive. Shen Junqing couldn’t help but be captivated for a moment, his gaze following her every move.

Nan Yan picked a simple design and turned to ask, “Let’s get a smaller cake, the two of us can’t eat much.’

“Okay.” Shen Junqing’s eyes softened, and he smiled gently in agreement.

After the cake was ready, instead of returning to the car, they sat in a small park next to the bakery.

Nan Yan lit a candle for him and said, “Third Brother, make a wish.’

Shen Junqing folded his hands together, looked at the burning candle, closed his eyes slowly, and made a wish.

Then, he blew out the candle in one breath.

Nan Yan handed him the cake-cutting knife and added, “I had a big seafood meal earlier, so I’ll only have a small piece, the rest is all yours.”

If it weren’t for this being his birthday cake, she wouldn’t want to eat it at all.

But she couldn’t help it; he was her Third Brother.

For family, she would pamper them a little.

Shen Junqing said that the cake was not big, but it was eight inches in diameter.

“I can’t finish it either. I’ll take the leftovers home and keep them in the fridge for breakfast tomorrow,” he said with a smile.

Nan Yan replied casually, “If you can’t finish it, you can give it to the children over there. This way, there will be another person celebrating your birthday.”

Shen Junqing snorted, “It’s my birthday cake, why should I give it to someone else? I won’t give it to anyone!”

In truth, he didn’t like sweet things.

Because sweetness made him forget the taste of bitterness too easily.

But this was from Nan Yan, and he didn’t want to waste a bit of it.

Nan Yan:

Why was he suddenly so petty?

Oh well, it was his birthday cake, so he could do whatever he wanted with it.

After sharing the cake with Shen Junqing, this time Nan Yan directly dropped him off at his place.

“Yanyan, how are you getting home?” Shen Junqing was still holding onto the half-eaten birthday cake. “Do you want me to have someone drive you?”

Nan Yan shook her head, “No need, someone is coming to pick me up.” Qin Lu had messaged her earlier, saying he was coming to pick her up.

She didn’t refuse.

Checking the time, it was about time for him to arrive.

Shen Junqing guessed who she was talking about.

It wasn’t difficult to guess.

A sour feeling welled up in his heart, but he forced a seductive smile on his face and said, ” Go upstairs with Third Brother first, and come down when he arrives.”

“Sure.”

Nan Yan was just about to go upstairs with Shen Junqing to his apartment when car headlights approached from a distance.

“It looks like I won’t need to. He’s here,” she said. Shen Junqing almost couldn’t hold back his expression.

This bastard.

Couldn’t he let him spend a little more time with Yanyan?

Asshole!

The car drove all the way to them before stopping.

But the headlights seemed even more glaring.

Nan Yan squinted her eyes, feeling like she had forgotten something.

After a moment of thought, she leaned forward and gave Shen Junqing a gentle hug.

“Third Brother, happy birthday.”

Shen Junqing stiffened.

In his ears was the girl’s slightly cold but clear and pleasant birthday wish.

Before he could even feel her hug, she had already pulled away and walked towards the passenger seat.

Qin Lu’s eyes were dark as he gripped the steering wheel tightly, the veins on the back of his hand clearly visible.

He was in the car, and they were under the headlights.

All their actions were crystal clear.

Nan Yan had taken the initiative to hug Shen Junqing and then turned her head towards his cheek.

In his line of sight, it looked like she was kissing him.

Qin Lu felt as if there was a breath trapped in his chest.

It couldn’t come up, nor could it go down, like a fishbone stuck in his throat.

It felt as if someone was tearing at his heart, causing a dull ache in waves.

Did Yanyan like Shen Junqing?

This thought almost made him lose control and hit Shen Junqing with his car.

The devilish thought made him not even notice when Nan Yan got into the car.

Nan Yan had just transitioned from the bright surroundings to the dark interior of the car and couldn’t see his face clearly.

But the low air pressure in the car made her remind him, “Brother, the air conditioning is set too low.”

Someone who hadn’t come back to his senses didn’t respond to her.

“Brother?”

“Hmmm?”

Qin Lu’s arm tightened like steel.

In the darkness, he turned his head to look at her, his voice as gentle as ever, “What’s wrong, Yanyan?”

The surging hostility gradually subsided, slowly retracting.

Nan Yan buckled her seatbelt and repeated, “The air conditioning is a bit too cold, can you turn it up?

Qin Lu reached out and adjusted the air conditioning temperature higher, “Going home?”

Nan Yan lazily leaned back in her seat, “Yeah, let’s go home.” Shen Junqing stood still, watching Qin Lu’s car slowly leave, sighing deeply, and then entered the apartment with a somewhat lonely figure….n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
